DLC - November 13th

It's Thursday so that means it's Friday Eve and PS Store day! LOTS of stuff to download today so let's cut to the chase. I wanna start playing the LBP stuff ASAP! To the links!

Add-Ons
LittleBigPlanet RAWKS, and if you didn't know that then I'm not sure you have a pulse. One of the things my sister and I enjoy about LBP is the crazy mix and match costumes you can set up. Like my Zebra Super Pirate. So the new toys that come for LBP today should be fun - and yes I bought all of it!

MotorStorm Stormers Costume - $1.99
Sack-Eating Plant Costume - free
Lilly Pad Costume - $0.99
Hugo Costume - $0.99
Great Blue Costume - $0.99
Frost E Costume - $0.99
Animal Costume Bundle - $2.99

Hot Shots Golf Out Bounds is a great game and a lot of fun, and I honestly have to admit that I haven't played it since... May. I started to buy the Kratos DLC back when it came out but I think another game released around that time and I spent most of my time playing that instead. Either way, today we now have the Costume Pack 2 for $2.99. I guess it comes with the "fall wardrobe collection" giving you - with all variations - 30 new costume combos. Just what the fashion conscience golfer who plays online needs!

As I've stated before PAIN is one of the few games that's fun whether you're playing it or watching somebody else play it. Due to many other distractions I haven't touched it much since after Trophies were released for it, but today we get new content. PAIN Movie Studio Lot flies in to add a new venue for torturing your character and the beloved (In Germany) Hoff is now a playable character. Now I originally thought the Hoff was just part of the Movie Studio but no. You will have to drop the $5.99 on the Movie Studio as well as $1.99 for The Hoff to get your hands on both. I'm going to pass for today as I'm crazy about LBP and R2, but I will get these probably sometime soon.

EA went nuts this week with enough content to choke a horde of football fans. To make it even better a vast majority is absolutely free. Since soccer, as I've always called it, is truly an international sport they've releases commentary packs for just about everybody except Klingons. I'm not sure to what extent the commentary adds to the game, but you can't hate free stuff.

FIFA 09 Dutch Commentary Pack - FREE
FIFA 09 English Commentary Pack - FREE
FIFA 09 English #2 Commentary Pack - $4.99
FIFA 09 French Commentary Pack - FREE

To continue EA's off loading of content the newly released NFS: Undercover - which I don't have yet - receives it's weight in content as well. It's nice to see this stuff available, however most if not all of this content can be unlocked in the game if you just play through. Which, the last time I checked, was the purpose of the game in the first place. Either way here are the goods and the pricing break down.

Mr. Meier has been generous with his DLC as of late. Making sure to offer something up to everybody as well as content for those who must have it all for affordable prices. This week I'm not entirely sure what these packs do exactly, but if you pick up all packs that have been released so far you'll have spent $3.75 I believe. All that extra fun for an already great game at such a low price sure makes a gamer feel loved. Thanks again Mr. Meier!

Multiplayer Map Pack 1: Elemental - free
Multiplayer Map Pack 2: Terrestrial - $1.25

We all knew that STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed would come with DLC, but it seems that most of it will fall under costume packs. Meanwhile it may be fun to go through the whole game as Luke Skywalker I hope they do more levels like the one's they've announced rather than just release a $5 costume pack like they're doing today. Now the pack does include 7 costumes so it's almost worth $5, but I'd rather have a whole new level to rip through instead. Here's what you get from your STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed Costume Pack 1 including links for those of you who may not recognize some of the less well known characters.

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker
Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker
Imperial Commando
Darth Sion
Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi
Jedi Master Kit Fisto

The Secret Apprentice also picks up the following 3 new costumes.

Hooded Combat Gear
General Starkiller
Sith Assassin

Guitar Hero World Tour drops some Hendrix and REM on us today. The Hendrix pack comes with three classics today. the Live version of Fire, and If 6 Was 9, and Little Wing. REM songs can be purchased individually or in a pack, the Hendrix pack comes bundled or not at all. But honestly if you have GH:WT, you'd buy them all bundled anyway!

Rock Band drops an album's worth of songs today. Foo Fighters The Colur of Shape album is now available individually or as the whole album. I keep thinking about the Robot Chicken skit with Mr T and the Foo Fighters.

Games
Age of Booty is a pirate themed RTS game that helps open the Capcom store front inside of the PS Store. I'm not a big RTS person really, but this one is tempting. For me it just came at the wrong time. For $9.99, had this released in September I would have picked it up most likely. I know quite a few people are excited about this game, and there is supposed to be a demo coming out for the game sometime soon, so depending on if I:

1. Actually play some of the insane amounts of demos I've downloaded.
2. Enjoy the demo enough.

I may actually buy this one. Not a bad price really, but I spent roughly eleventy ba~jillion dollars in games in October and I'm playing them all quite a bit.

Themes
Not a single theme today, free or other wise. Another odd omission is the lack of a single wallpaper. I figured we'd get some Age of Booty swag or some more LBP stuff to go along with the new costumes.

Well now that this is all taken care of, I'm off to play with my new costumes in LBP. I need to start going through the game, but I hate continuing unless I have 100% in the area. Time to see if a friend on my list wants to help!
